The WB executives keep their paws off the animated stuff, unlike with the live-action stuff where they tend to meddle and ruin it.

The DC Animated Universe has guidance and foundation from Dini and Timm, who would be amazing at managing the live-action stuff if only WB were smart enough to let them. Instead, WB put Zack Snyder into that role, and he's essentially just a glorified music video director with one or two overly-used tricks, and a completely flawed understanding of the DC Universe.

To each his own I guess. Maybe it's age? I saw Batman TAS when it first aired and to me Batman and Harley was as bad as the worst episodes of that show. It was a missed opportunity to bring us back into that universe and then potentially introduce a new generation. But instead the people that brought us Mask of the Phantasm, gave us fart jokes. To me it was an exploitation film with Harley's character being the victim. I'll watch it again one day but it fell flat for me. Bruce Timm is great but he needs to be reigned in sometimes.

Ok I'm curious as to why people would want Keanu as Spike? Even when I first heard the rumors about 15 years ago I thought he was wrong for the part. For one thing his acting is passable at best and even though great acting isn't a prerequisite for the type of movie an American version of Cowboy Bebop would be, it certainly helps. Second, even 15 years ago he was too old. Spike is supposed to be in his late 20s, not 40s (and yes Keanu looked that old, even then).

This is not. It was a release made to match the VHS art for phantom menace. 2001 or 2 I think and it had some sneak peak at episode 2. The last time the original unaltered version was released was this one I think. I owned them all at one point. Wish I still did. Who knew VHS was coming back?!?

Watch videos from the 80s, everyone was thin then to. It's all the sugar, dyes, fillers and chemicals in our food, water, food containers, cans and bottles that are making us fat. keep in mind also, all these people 107 years didn't own any exercise equipment or worked out.

My theory is Disney is pulling in all these properties to use on their app. I could see a defenders season 2 coming to disney to either end or reboot it. And that slightly excites me to see Spiderman fight alongside daredevil.

Small thing. But the artists who scored the music are from one of my favorite bands (Manchester Orchestra) and Andy Hull has a cameo as a camera man. Oh also Shane Carruth, who directed Primer and Upstream Color, has a cameo as a coroner I believe.

Man. This ads for this movie had low budget, low rate, low quality written all over it. But then you watch it. And its flipping great. My wife and her friend screamed so much. Was hilarious. Must be out of print and hard to find. I'd love to see the creators handed something bigger budget.
